Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

Option A. 3(x + 2) = 3x + 6

L.H.S. = R.H.S.

So equivalent expressions.

Option B. (3x + 2x) = 5x ≠ x² ( 3 + 2 )

Expressions are not equivalent L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

Option C. R.H.S. 3(x+2) = 3x + 6 ≠ L.H.S. (3x + 2)

Expression are not equivalent.

Option D. L.H.S. -3(2+x) = -6 -3x ≠ - 6x - 3 (R.H.S.)

Therefore, expressions are not equivalent.

Option A. is the answer.
